ON THE ROAD WITH THE FEEL GOOD FAMILY
There ’ s no mistaking you ’ ve arrived in Coober Pedy , with its unique landscape dotted with huge piles of mining tailings . While there are a number of caravan parks in town to choose from and a variety of underground accommodation options , we chose to stay at a fantastic property , Coober Pedy Views , and enjoyed uninterrupted panoramas over some of the most incredible country we ’ ve seen to date .
The highlight for us was the halfday tour with Aaron from Noble Tours Australia , one of the best we ’ ve been on during our travels , and very reasonable in price . The tour takes in seven different locations around Coober Pedy including an underground mine , underground house and underground church , as well as the remarkable landscapes of the Moon Plains and culturally significant Breakaways .
And of course no trip to the Opal Capital of the World is complete without trying your luck for yourself ! There are dedicated areas around town that allow you to fossick for opal without a permit , and a number of mine sites that offer a paid tour and fossicking experience . We enjoyed some night noodling using a shovel , sieve and an ultraviolet torch that allows the opal to shine bright in the darkness .
